SIGG Aluminum Drinking Bottles Contain BPA [CBS 09.03.09]

The outside may be metal, but until last year, SIGG bottles contained plastic liners with small amounts of BPA, a chemical some studies suggest may have adverse effects on human health.

If you're filling up a SIGG product at home, here's how to make sure it's your safest bet. On the outside, the two bottles look pretty much the same, but on the inside, the colors are different. Last year's models with trace amounts of BPA are copper in color; this year's EcoCare liner is putty-colored.

If you have a SIGG bottle that's more than a year old and you don't want to spend money for a replacement bottle, SIGG is offering to swap your old one for a new one through the end of October.
